High Lipped Long Bunker

Problem

The ball landed in a really long bunker with a high lip.

Cure

One change that is not always known to do in this circumstance is to set your hands lower at set up for a higher ball flight.

Therapy

Set the ball pretty far forward in your stance. Open the clubface. Avoid digging with the leading edge of the club. Instead, use the sole of the club because this will give you a more consistent strike. To do this, keep your weight on your forward leg and think of slapping the sand with the sole of the club.
